Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Alabama Firecrackers
  1. Begin by emptying two boxes of saltine or Ritz crackers into a large resealable Ziploc bag.

  3. Carefully pour the seasoned oil into the Ziploc bag containing the crackers. Seal the bag tightly and shake gently until all crackers are evenly coated.
